The song of the week this week comes from a band called “Mandrake Handshake”. I discovered this band about 3 years ago now (funnily enough from a t-shirt I bought from their label at the time) and have loved their groovy, psychedelic noise ever since. They are formed of 10 (yes ten) members which is honestly crazy to me, I do not know how they fit on any stages.

Just last Friday they released their 50 minute debut album Earth-Sized Worlds, which I cannot recommend enough, and is where the track of the week comes from. Also last Friday came Sam Fender’s third studio album People Watching, also a great album and one which made it difficult to pick my favourite song this week. I particularly like Nostalgia’s Lie, but felt that it did not best the track I have selected. See you next week, where I look forward to hearing Sports Team’s new album “Boys these Days” (the single Bang Bang Bang is simply amazing), I particularly look forward to the track “Maybe When We’re Thirty” which was incredibly to hear live in a hometown venue back in November.
